Through my own narration, the novel depicts the magnificent, heroic, and tragic stories of my ancestors in Northeast Gaomi Township during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. While they bravely fought against the brutal Japanese invaders, they also engaged in epic and moving love stories. The novel also reveals the conflicts that arise when human emotions are oppressed by secular rules.
"The process by which historical figures and events are passed down orally among the people is actually a process of legend. History is written by people, and heroes are created by people. When people are dissatisfied with reality, they yearn for the past; when people are dissatisfied with themselves, they worship their ancestors. My novel Red Sorghum is probably something of this kind." - Mo Yan
